Imladris Siege

Fredius:
I was not referring to your grammar, I was referring to your punctuation, like dots "." and comma's ",". I'm not trying to offend you or something but using these makes reading your posts a lot easier. Lol at those +1's though :D.

Anyway, I meant how is it realistic for Eagles to damage stone walls with their claws? Can you damage a brick with your nails? To break the gate they must fly very low or even land first, which makes them very vulnerable to enemy units. Also siege weapons, like catapults, have a range advantage compared to eagles who can be shot down by enemy towers and archers very easily. If you just want to have another Eagle Hero then this is not the right thread to post into. You can make a seperate proposal about them but it's best to wait untill the faction is released to see if it's even necessary.

Yeah I won't be against a return of the eagles too, but they are clearly no siege weapons. Do you consider animals as siege weapons ? :D
Or we could have like... let me see... An eagle carrying stones in his claws and throwing them from the sky on the ennemy buildings ?  [ugly] [ugly] [ugly]

Actually, I've heard worse. Nobody seems to be really bothered with the fact that Ents can form huge siege-size blocks of earth and stone from seemingly simple soil. Why should Eagles not be able to pick up debris of some sort and throw it onto a building?

It could serve as a back-up option. I'd rather have real and powerful siege engines for Rivendell though, they are master craftsmen after all.

d0m0a:
Yeah, but between the idea of the eagles as siege weapon, and elite  units for aid units in battles

Walküre:
The fact is that Eagles are indeed more powerful in the lore than what they could seem to in the films. Being them one of the few sentient species created and totally controlled by a Vala, they were part of immensely great deeds in Arda's long and sad History; above all, the Eagles' King managed to permanently wound Morgoth and they fought proudly against the Winged Dragons in the War of Wrath...
Therefore, I do think that they could be easily able to hold and throw huge rocks, like, if anyone can recall, the Griffins in Narnia  :D

Anyway, the point is that the Eagles were significantly less involved in the World's affairs in the late Third Age. Not to mention that highly advanced siege machines would be a far better option for conceptual/gameplay reasons, mainly to pay homage to the legendary craftsmanship and warfare knowledge of our beloved Noldor  ;)


Aulë, perfect grammar is absolutely not required nor suggested in this forum. Even though, in line with the general Suggestion Guidelines of MU, one should always try to write decently, in order to be understood properly (for the sake of its own proposals or replies).
Specifically, punctuation should be one of the main 'priorities'.


--- Zitat ---Use clear and appropriate language. Abbreviations, spelling errors, missing punctuation or confusing formatting all make your post more frustrating to read and may reflect badly on an otherwise good idea.
